Customer Reviews

Good quality at an affordable price.
I wanted some headphones because I found the earbud type earphones uncomfortable when listening to my MP3 player.

These headphones do an excellent job. I mainly use them with either of two devices, a Sony NWZ-A818 or an iPod Shuffle. The sound produced is very good, with a lot of bass. I did find that the volume needs to be boosted more than if listening through standard earphones, but then I don't like my music overly loud anyway.

The lead is long, 3.5 metres. This might not suit everyone, but it's in the description so I can't complain. To make it more manageable, a couple of elastic bands do the trick. Please note that a 6.3mm adapter is provided in the box.

The plastic used in the construction feels a little cheap, but acceptable at this price.

In conclusion, top value for money and a good sound, but bear in mind they are designed for indoor use.

Excellent value
At less than a tenner, these budget headphones are amazing value. I think they are extremely comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The long lead is a bonus if you wander round the room a bit while listening!

Sound quality is very good, particularly for pop/easy listening. I also tried them while I was playing a digital piano and they were excellent - the sound was spot on. They coped well with the spoken word on a DAB radio, albeit the sound downgraded a bit. A string quartet fared less well; the sound was a bit on the weedy side, but still acceptable for everyday listening. Recommended.

Very uncomfortable
Notice in the product image that there is no padding on the two thin plastic bands that goes across your head! This is what takes most of the weight of the head phones.
After an hour or two it gets really uncomfortable so that you constantly adjusting the headphones to relieve the pressure points. It comes to a point where I can cant wear them any more and have to switch to in-ear phones.
Shame really as the audio and build quality is excellent.
